Butts on Bikes campaign
Since the New Year, our priority has been to get butts on our bikes. They come in all shapes and sizes, and the one commonality is that every butt looks good on a Bolt.
Over the last few months, we introduced 100 new riders to Bolt. What better way to spend a lunch hour or a lazy Saturday afternoon than to hop on an M-1 and give electric a try. Many thanks to all who took a break from the hustle and bustle to get out for a ride.
Demo Days
Recently we caught up with the teams at Tesla and Spacex in Hawthorne, CA.
It was great riding weather (as always), and we gave dozens of demo rides. Some people had been riding motorcycles their entire lives, and some had never been on a powered two-wheeler. A one-minute spiel later, and they were off and riding like a natural.
Across the board, the reaction was the same. Awesome! A special thanks to all who came out and for spreading the word if you couldn’t make it! We’ll catch you next time for sure.
What does it feel like to ride a Bolt?
For most people, the M-1 is their first foray into electric. How does that saying go…once you go electric, you never go back?
At some point or another most of us have ridden a bicycle. We have all felt how awesome it is going downhill. No pedaling, the wind in your sideburns, and no noise of an engine. Now imagine if you could also do that going uphill. Riding a Bolt is like riding downhill everywhere you go. We took the M-1 to the steepest hills of San Francisco we could find and put it to the test. As Borat so eloquently put it, “Great success!”
If you have ridden a motorcycle or a scooter, you might have a bit of an idea, but now imagine all the torque you need right off the line. No clutches to slip, no gears to shift, and whisper-quiet. You get to the front of the line every time, and you are off the line faster than any car around. Yeah, it’s that awesome.
Who rides Bolt, you ask?
When I first moved to San Francisco, Craigslist was still honorable. I found a place to live, a job and a surfboard. I went on some dates, and I found my first moped. I was a normal guy, living and working in SF, and I quickly realized that my moped was the best way to get around the city at the time - much more practical than my car or bicycle. I could go farther, faster, and for less money. Since electrifying this awesome form factor, we get all of the same benefits, we help the environment, and look WAY cooler.
The M-1 is for techies, moms and dads, and people who realize that getting around in a city doesn’t have to suck. If you like cool, come try a Bolt. Here are just a few people who did:
